August 5- The Big Reveal

I could barely sleep last night I was so nervous/excited
about the gender reveal ultrasound today. We wanted so badly for it
to be a boy/girl combo, but I had a feeling it could be two girls.
Everyone has been asking me if I thought I knew what combination I
was having and I really didn't. What I did definitely feel was that
there was at least one girl in there. That I just knew at the center
of my core. But had no idea what the other was.

So the Hubs
and I met at Prenatal Impressions at noon and both of us
had ants in our pants. So nerve-wracking! We asked the ultrasound guy
to do Baby B first, since we had already been told at our last
ultrasound that there was a good chance it was a girl. And sure
enough it is! They refer to the parts as being "Dangle Down"
which means there are these three lines that represent the labia. I
could definitely see the lines he was referring to, but the whole
image looked like a big blobby mess to me, so I'll take his word for
it!Next came Baby B. This was it, the whole enchilada. Wouldn't
ya know the little bugger had it's legs crossed! After some
maneuvering the tech was able to get a money shot. And as he typed
the letters I'm pretty sure my heart stopped.

A N G L E ........ UP. 100% Boy.

AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
I can't believe it!!!! It's a BOY and a GIRL!!!!!! I wanted to jump
up and do a cartwheel! (which I would have totally broken an ankle or
something) but I seriously couldn't believe it. Total Shock. I was
seriously thinking we already have been so lucky that there was no
way we'd get the boy/girl combo we wanted. But sure enough!...I
was able to see why Baby A is always moving around like crazy when we
see him. He's got his sister laying on top of him at all times
cramping his style! He's probably super uncomfortable in there!

This
whole thing is pretty surreal. Now it's time to solidify the names.
We already have a pretty good idea of what they'll be, but we want to
be 100% sure before setting it in stone. And it's also time to start
planning for the nursery! I'm thinking of going with a light green
baby animal jungle type theme. That's pretty gender neutral but still
cute.
